Welcome back to the first ever TegraZone Player’s Choice Awards promotion.

TegraZone game I’m looking forward to the most: Renaissance Blood THD

Renaissance Blood, formerly DaVinci, has been in development for a long time, but it should finally arrive on Tegra 3 devices in June. Korean developer Bridea is using the Unreal Engine 3 for this first person shooter and promises the highest graphics quality of any mobile game.

Kijong Kang, Executive Producer, described how they planned to take advantage of NVIDIA’s 4-PLUS-1 architecture by saying, “Renaissance Blood THD will leverage Tegra 3 for its multi-threading capabilities, so we can scale across all four CPU cores and deliver the ultimate console-quality performance.”

We haven’t seen a lot of info about the game released in recent months, so keep an eye on the TegraZone listing for updates. It’s possible the release date could be pushed back to the second half of 2012, but this looks like a game worth waiting on.

The Giveaway: ASUS Transformer Pad Prize Pack

Running latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the ASUS Transformer Pad is a value packed tablet that with multi-color style, and productivity with expandability when connected to the mobile dock. With a 1.2MP front and 8MP rear auto-focus camera with large F/2.2 aperture and exclusive office software, staying connected and productive has never been easier.

Entries will be judged on number of comments they receive, use of images and videos, and overall quality. We will announce the winner next week when we start Week 3 of the TegraZone Player’s Choice Awards promotion.

Multiple chances to win: Users can win a tablet from Android and Me or NVIDIA. The Player’s Choice Awards will be running for several weeks, so be on the lookout for more chances to win an ASUS Transformer Pad. Don’t forget we are also running a Sonic 4 promotion that has another chance to win a Transformer Prime.

I can’t justify the 250+ I’d spend on it lol. Hopefully the Nexus tablet makes the decision easier to make.

i would wait it out. I had an A500, Galaxy Tab 8.9, and now an iPad.

Nothing touches the galaxy 8.9 in terms of size and features, but seriously… i can’t wait around for ICS. I have been a G1, N1, NS, Evo, Galaxy S epic user.

I have to say it pains me to say it, but the ipad is the best tablet experience so far. I won’t stay in that camp forever.

If you are seriously considering a tablet, go for the ipad until a worthy competitor comes out.

In the meantime, I’ll stick to android phones until they have common periphials, proper support for upgrades.

sorry, i’m not trolling either. i invested too much into android tablets to keep selling and buying and waiting for ICS.

by the way I think people aren’t going to want to comment on threads being made for this because it will help the other person win

MrQuestion

What is the exact reason that the Tegra Zone contest is open only to residents of the United States, Canada, UK and Germany?

I get it when it’s just North America, but why also Germany and the UK, but no other European countries?

It comes down to shipping costs. Sending prizes to other countries sometimes costs more than the actual device. We rotate which contests are US only and other countries. The Sonic 4 contest is open to entries from all countries.

MrQuestion

Thanks for answering my question. I understand that there’s choices to be be made and I’m glad there are contests that are open to everyone.

Seeing Sonic for the first time on my Mom’s Windows 98 Computers. It was incredible.

I think TegraZone is a great idea, however, is it a second market place or does it link back to the Android Market?

TegraZone (and other exclusive content) is bad for Android ecosystem.

It segments Android user and excludes majority of the users to many great apps/games.

“This contest is open to residents of the United States, Canada, UK and Germany.” The Dutch still left out on this contest? It’s sad that all people from the Netherlands bite the dust.

I don’t really do a whole lot of gaming so me starting a thread on that makes no sense. I do know that I’d really like the ASUS Tablet. I have been shopping around and reading this and other Android blogs and have decided that the ASUS is the best bang for you buck. I have been holding out for the MEMO/Nexus 7″ tablet that has been rumored for a while but am losing patience so maybe you could help me out and let me win this tablet. I could “suffer” with a bigger tablet. :-)
